Been announced on Sky News,only 64
RIP John Sullivan
Really much too young to be dying.
RIP. 
Oh dear. What can one say? An immense contribution to British sitcom coupled with (apparently) being a really decent and nice bloke. Very sad. RIP.
Blimey, that's one of the best ever sitcom creators gone How sad. What a legacy of work he left us though 
A very hard working and dedicated writer too.
Gave me so many laughs. RIP
...and Trigger makes a sad face.
RIP Very sad news
RIP to one of our finest ever sitcom writers. So many great shows but I've always had a soft spot for Dear John.
RIP. Sad news.

Well, bugger me.
I've just been watching him on OFAH 40 Greatest Moments on Gold and I come downstairs to this !
RIP John.
So many happy hours enjoying your work.
RIP. The word great is overused but he was an all-time great of comedy.
aparently he was working on a sitcom about zombies attacking clowns
"only fools in corpses"

Hear, hear! My favourite of his shows.
A real shame. Only 64 as well. Citizen Smith, Only Fools and Horses, Just Good Friends, Dear John. For most people just writing a single one of those marvellous series would earn them a place in my pantheon of comedy heroes. A true legend.
Such very sad news. The term 'great' is bandied out about far too many people these days, but he really was.
A special mention to the excellent Heartbreak Hotel, co-written with Jon Glover, which I have only recently discovered.
